This one is definitely coming up and I'm marking it as "Planned".

Good point. I'll add this as a suggestion under your name.

I've been able to reproduce the bug. In fact, I had the same bug yesterday at the gym. Here's the catch:

If you open the new exercise in the Exercises section, you'll get the 6RM question.

If you open the new exercise in the Workouts section, you'll get the old interface.

This is definitely a bug and I'll get it fixed fast.

Thank you for catching that one Nick.

Cheers!

Note to staff: confirmed on both iOs and Android

Yes, absolutely! The app will compute new recommendations based on the info that remains. I've just tested this and I can confirm it works.

Good point and we'll definitely get to it. I'm marking this as planned.

For now, I recommend checking http://www.exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html. They have photos and videos for dozens of exercises for every major muscle group. They even have 92 exercises just for the abs :O

I'm voting this +1 and marking it as "Planned." We should have it out in beta by next week.

The app will understand in more detail what's going on with your training and cut sets 50% and load 90% when you plateau—it will also let you know when its making these changes and link to an article on our blog that explains our approach to deloads.

For now, I do explain the different scenarios in the video demo at the top of this page: https://drmuscleapp.com/. But that video will be outdated once we release the next update.

Thank you for your suggestion Steve.

I agree it might be a good idea to restrict the rep range for some exercises. Especially the olympic lifts, like you mentioned. Good thing we don't have those in the app!

Other trainers have argued biceps curls shouldn't be done for 4-5 reps. Only 6 reps or more. For deadlifts, I think they can be done safely for higher reps. They're just hard :)

For each of those, there's also the question of reps in reserve. If people are doing a set of 11 reps on the DL with a 13RM weight, even if it's hard, it's still safe.

Still, I'm thinking we could add a "restrict rep range" screen with default settings for biceps, deadlift, oly lifts, etc. each user could edit. We'll see if lots of people vote for this. Guys, what do you think?

Hi Nick!

I've tested this on my iPhone 5 (I know you're on iOs) and I'm not getting the same behaviour. When I create a new exercise, and I tap outside the box so I don't enter any 6RM, the exercise actually disapears from the list.

Could you give me the exact steps you go through, so I can reproduce this? Like this:

Add my own >

Tap outside >

?

I'll also ask Christelle to test this on her iPhone and comment back here. Thx!

Released in beta today. Will be made public this week. I'm marking this as completed. Yeah!

Published in beta today. Will be released this week. I'm marking this as "Completed." Yeeha!
